Squaring both sides

⇒ (2x + 5y)² = 15²

⇒ 4x² + 25y² + 2 × 2x × 5y = 225

⇒ 4x² + 25y² + 20xy = 225

Putting the value of xy = 6

⇒ 4x2 + 25y2 + (20 × 6) = 225

⇒ 4x² + 25y² = 225 - 120

⇒ 4x2 + 25y2 = 105

∴ The correct answer is 105.

Concept used:

If a number is increased by P% then,

N = N × (100 + P)%

If a number is decreased by P% then,

N = N × (100 - P)%

Given:

ABC is a triangle.

AB = 20 cm; BC = 21 cm ; AC = 29 cm

D, E, and F are the midpoints of AB, BC and AC respectively.

Concept used:

The line segment joining the midpoint of any two sides of the triangle is parallel 

and half of the length of the third side.

Calculation:

In the figure, D, E, and F are the midpoints of AB, BC and AC respectively.

From the midpoint theorem:

DE = 21/2 = 10.5 cm ; EF = 20/2 = 10 cm ; DF = 29/2 = 14.5 cm

Semi - perimeter (S) = (DE + EF + DF)/2

⇒ (10.5 + 10 + 14.5)/2

⇒ 35/2 = 17.5 cm

Area of triangle = √{S(S - DE) × (S - EF) × (S - DF)}

⇒ √{17.5 × (17.5 - 10.5) × (17.5 - 10) × (17.5 - 14.5)}

⇒ √{17.5 × 7 × 7.5 × 3}

⇒ √2756.25 = 52.5 = $52 \frac{1}{2}$ cm²

∴ The correct answer is  $52 \frac{1}{2}$ cm2.

Given:

x2 - √(9.76) x + 1 = 0

Concept used:

If x + (1/x) = P

x - (1/x) = √(P² - 4)

If x - 1/x = P then,

x³ - 1/x³ = P³ + 3P

Calculation:

⇒ x2 - √(9.76) x + 1 = 0

Divide by x on both sides

⇒ x - √(9.76) + 1/x = 0

⇒ x + 1/x = √(9.76)

Now,

⇒ x - 1/x = √{(√9.76)² - 4} 

⇒ √{9.76 - 4} = √5.76

⇒ 2.4

x³ - (1/x³) = {x - (1/x)}³ + 3 × {x - (1/x)}

⇒ (2.4)³ + 3 × 2.4 

⇒ 13.824 + 7.2

⇒ 21.024

∴ The correct answer is 21.024.

Given:

⇒ cos2 36° + cos 54° ⋅ sin 36° + (tan 26°/cot 64°)

⇒ cos2 36° + cos (90° - 36) ⋅ sin 36° + tan 26°/cot (90° - 26)

⇒ cos2 36° + sin 36° ⋅ sin 36° + tan 26°/tan 26°

⇒ cos2 36° + sin² 36° + 1

⇒ 1 + 1 = 2

∴ The correct answer is 2.

Given:

The chords of a circle = radius of the circle

Concept used:

The angle of an equilateral triangle = 60°

Calculation:

In the figure:

OD = OE = radius

DE = OD = OE

So, △DOE is an equilateral triangle.

∠DOE = 60°

⇒ ∠DQE = (∠DOE/2)

⇒ 60/2 = 30°

DQEP is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∠DQE + ∠DPE = 180°

⇒ 30 + ∠DPE = 180

⇒ ∠DPE = 180 - 30

⇒ ∠DPE = 150°

∴ The correct answer is 150°.

Given:

Marked price (M.P)  = Rs.75

Profit% = 29%

Formula used:

C.P/M.P = (100 - D)%/(100 + P)%

Where, C.P = cost price ; D = discount

and P = profit 

Calculation:

⇒ C.P/M.P = (100 - D)%/(100 + P)%

⇒ C.P/75 = (100 - 14)/(100 + 29)

⇒ C.P = (86 × 75)/129

⇒ C.P = 2 × 25 = 50

∴ The correct answer is 50.

∴ The correct answer is 5/4.

Given:

Principal = Rs.6400

Time = 1 year and rate = 5%

Concept used:

Compound interest (C.I) = P × Effective rate%

Effective rate% for 2 years = R₁ + R₂ + (R₁ × R₂)/100

Calculation:

For compounded annually:

C.I = 6400 × 5% = 320

For compounded half-yearly:

New rate = 5/2% = 2.5%

Time = 1 × 2 = 2 years

Effective rate% for 2 years = 2.5 + 2.5 + (2.5)²/100

⇒ 5 + 0.0625 = 5.0625%

C.I = 6400 × 5.0625% = Rs.324

Required difference = 324 - 320 = Rs.4

∴ The correct answer is 4.

Given:

Area of a sector = (π × r² × θ)/360°

Calculation:

Perimeter of sector = 2r + (2 × π × r × θ)/360°

⇒ 20.6 = 2 × 7.4 + (2 × π × 7.4 × θ)/360°

⇒ 20.6 - 14.8 = (2 × π × 7.4 × θ)/360°

⇒ 5.8 × 360 = 2 × π × 7.4 × θ

⇒ θ = (5.8 × 360)/(2 × π × 7.4)

⇒ θ = (29 × 180)/(π × 37)

Area of sector =  (π × r2 × θ)/360°

⇒ (π × 7.4 × 7.4  × 29 × 180)/(360 × π × 37)

⇒ 0.2 × 3.7 × 29 = 21.46 cm²

∴ The correct answer is 21.46 cm2.

Alternate MethodCalculation:

Perimeter of sector = 2 × radius + Length of arc

⇒ 20.6 = 2 × 7.4 + L

⇒ L = 20.6 - 14.8 = 5.8

Area of sector = (1/2) × radius × L

⇒ 0.5 × 7.4 × 5.8 = 21.46 cm²

∴ The correct answer is 21.46 cm2.

• Foresee means to anticipate or predict something that may happen in the future. (भविष्य में घटित होने वाली किसी बात का पूर्वानुमान या भविष्यवाणी करना)

The correct answer is: "had been doing".

Key Points

 

• The sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the doctor already knew something before.
• "Had been doing" is the past perfect continuous tense, indicating that Ravindra was doing a certain kind of work before he got sick.
• The structure should be: Subject + had been + present participle (verb + ing)
• This tense is appropriate because it shows that Ravindra was doing the work for a period of time before he got sick and that he may continue doing it after he recovers.
• The use of "had been doing" implies a continuous action or state in the past, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the work.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Corrected sentence: The doctor knew that Ravindra would recover from dengue soon and do the kind of work he had been doing before.

The correct answer is: French

Key Points

• The error is in the subject of the sentence, which should be "The French" instead of "French".
• The definite article "The" is needed before "French" to make it a specific group of people.
• "French" can also be used as an adjective, but in this case, it needs to modify a noun, such as "French soldiers".

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Corrected sentence: The English often fought the French.

The correct answer is: "Why are you eating the rotten apple?"

Key Points

 

• The sentence is in passive voice, with the subject (rotten apple) being acted upon by the verb (being eaten) and the object (you) doing the action.
• Passive voice structure: Why + is/am/are + subject + being + past participle of the main verb + by + agent (optional)?
• To change it to active voice, we need to make the subject (you) the doer of the action and the object (rotten apple) the recipient of the action.
• Active voice structure: Why + present tense of the verb to be + subject + present participle (verb + ing) + object?
• The correct active voice sentence would be "Why are you eating the rotten apple?"

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is: DABC

Key Points

• The sentence talks about the rise of dictators and the inauguration of a new regime.
• Part D sets the context by stating that democracy takes time to develop.
• Part A introduces the main idea of the sentence.
• Part B adds more detail about how the regime came into power.
• Part C provides a condition for the success of the regime.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The correct answer is: Postpone

Key Points

 

• The sentence means that happiness should not be delayed for the future, but should be created in the present.
